Re: What exactly is Copland??

** Copland is the last name of Aaron Copland, an American composer who died
** in 1990. It is also the code name for Apple's forthcoming operating system
** otherwise known as System 8. Apple seems to like codenaming their OSes for
** composers. System 7 was Mozart and "System 9" is Gershwin.


* When they choose "Mozart" I'll have to hold my breath - with a name like
* that, it's gonna have to be awful damn good.... and nice as Mac O/S is, it
* ain't up to Mozart standards by a long shot.  But it IS better than
* Tchaikovski  - which windows equates to pretty well..


Uh-uh, chucko.  Composer codename for Windows is "Salieri."
